The Hawaii football team concluded its final weekend of recruiting by securing commitments from a lineman and linebacker.

Allen also received scholarship offers from Washington, Arizona, Utah, Boise State, SMU, New Mexico and New Mexico State.

Today marks the start of the NCAA’s dead period in which coaches cannot have in-person contact with a prospect.
A school is permitted to make one call a week during the dead period.

Allen and Garcia-Williams bring the number of new commitments to 13.
